Re:FISA and it's limits (Score 1)

Since I'm only starting law school this fall, the limit to which I can respond is to your issue with the court. Congress cannot limit the power of the Supreme Court, whose powers as a coequal branch are found in Article III. In Article I, Section 8, Congress has the power to "constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court." This means that courts underneath the Supreme Court, such as the Federal Court of Appeals, are creations of Congress and thus can have their jurisdiction messed with. This is a big difference from what you implied.
